New Discovery Marks Milestone in Collagen Research
It exists in several cosmetics. It accounts for 80% of the connections inside your skin. But can it truly reverse the aging process? That’s what a team of researchers, scientists, and chemists in 1992 set out to find. Releasing their final preparation in May of 2009 in the place of origin in Gdansk Poland, the manufacturers of Baltic Collagen are making strides in the hunt for eternal youth. At great variance to antiaging products today, this antiaging serum targets the reason for aging, as opposed to the effects.
Collagen is of great interest to researchers today given it comprises most of the connections of your skin and hence, the real reason for the an incredible number of dollars spent on collagen research annually. After a while, however, the molecular structure of those large molecules changes, leading them to become shorter, and less capable of do their job. Not only do skin cells produce a reduced amount of it over time, they produce less accurate copies of it. This two-fold process may be the fundamental source of aging and its effects.No matter the result, the apparent signs of aging are due to the effect of protein breakdown. And for humans, the collagen protein makes up 25% of the weight of the human body.
